Lewis Hamilton has once again expressed his confidence in Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur, despite recent rumors suggesting that Christian Horner, the former head of Red Bull Racing, might be considering a move to the Italian team. Horner, who was dismissed from Red Bull last year after two decades in the role, told The Times that joining Ferrari would be "the dream." He praised the team, calling it "the biggest brand in Formula 1" and "the sleeping giant of Formula 1." Hamilton, who finished sixth at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix—matching his qualifying position—was asked by Sky Sports F1 about Horner's comments and his continued support for Vasseur. He confirmed he still had faith in Vasseur and said the team remained united, adding they would "keep trying" to achieve good results in the remaining eight races of the season. Hamilton described the race as frustrating, citing difficulties with tyre performance throughout the weekend. He explained that his tyres did not perform well during the first part of the race, improved slightly in the middle, but then deteriorated again in the final stint. Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli, who started in 16th place, finished fifth, increasing Hamilton's deficit in the championship. He is now 103 points behind the leader and 37 points behind George Russell, who won the race in Baku. Charles Leclerc, Hamilton's teammate, finished fourth despite starting in second place but was unable to match the pace of the dominant Red Bull team. The next race will be the Bahrain Grand Prix, which will take place at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia as a one-off event next week.
